Party is over!

Well I can't believe it has been one year since we met our beautiful Olive. This seriously has been the best year of my life. Never did I think I was going to be happily married and enjoy being a mommy. God sure knows what he is doing and I praise Him for the beautiful gifts he has given me. I love my life. Well after many months of planning, thinking, making and buying it's all over. I enjoyed planning my daughters first birthday party and I am very pleased on how wonderful everything came out. It was a great time with friends and family enjoying food, candy, games and of course our little Olivia. Although she will not remember it Olivia enjoyed every second of her party plus she looked so adorable!

I did not have a candy buffet after all but with all the unexpected guest that showed up it would have not been a good thing anyway. Instead I made the cutest treat bags out of white lunch bags that I got from Target and stamped them with my favorite stamps. I was so proud of all the decorations some I made, like the birthday banner and the party sign for the door. Some stuff I bought like the paper flowers that hung from the ceiling fans and the party ribbon that hung from the ceiling. The cute table setting for all the tables was the thing I was most proud of. I bought polka dot fabric to make as runners and painted polka dots on flower pots filled with candy and a silk flower as centerpieces. So chick!
My awesome mom made Mole which is a delicious authentic Mexican dish that is served at many Mexican parties. I love that woman! My sister bought Olivia the most darling cake and most tasteful, it had everyone coming for seconds. The candy was all the kids favorite thing of the party because they not only got candy in their treat bags but also all the candy from the pinata. The last part of the party was opening all the presents for Olivia and it was a little overwhelming for her because she could not figure out which toy to play with. She got lots of clothes and many toys for her birthday. The ultimate favorite activity was the giant bouncer we rented for her. That girl just loves to bounce and jump. Such a fun night so many good memories from her first birthday party. Now that is all over it's time to think about the next one.
